Succession Planning and Development is nothing new. However, an organization’s productivity and retention effectiveness are highly dependent on implementing a meaningful succession plan and evaluating its effectiveness. Whether business-centered or public agencies, organizations exist in an extremely competitive environment in this age of fast-moving initiatives and employee job-searching. Technology is rapidly impacting the workforce, making quality staffing difficult to sustain. To bolster a productive and satisfied workforce, leaders and managers must be educated, empowered, and mentored in the requisite skills and experience. The concept of succession development is also referred to as talent management, which is how the plan develops future leaders and managers to fill a talent pool ready for promotional placement at any moment. Preparing talented staff to fill leader vacancies in advance is much more beneficial to the organization than reacting to a short-notice vacancy need and not being ready to fill that vacancy quickly and effectively.
